Georg Ventman knows only the dim, cramped world within the megacity of a dark future. He needs to stretch. He needs to break free. He needs to assail the void with a two-fisted gesture of exaltation.* A short science fiction story of escape from a dystopian future by Alistair Ainscott.Professionally published writer Alistair Ainscott writes tales of science gone haywire, men gone mad, oddballs gone even odder, twin toddlers run amok, cats doing the things that cats are given to do, and other nefarious goings-on of the mysterious and the unknown. His fiction has appeared in the professional-paying Penumbra magazine of speculative fiction from Musa Publishing, and he has also studied short fiction with Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.* For more information about his work, visit http://alistairainscott.wordpress.com/.If you liked this story, you might also like these other stories by Alistair Ainscott:* The Trinity of the Sands* The Thriller Writer's Workshop* Tailor Maidens* Occupy Stinking America
